The Spirit Trail

专辑：The Music of Dan Fogelberg

作词 : Fogelberg

The light is long the sun is low

I'm riding fast across this dusty road

But I don't want to be, no I don't want to be

Above the ridge an eagle flies in lazy circles in the western skies

I want to fly with him I want to walk the spirit trail

I've seen them come I've seen them go off to the oilfields and rodeos

To find a better way, they leave their native soil

But I can hear a different song

The drum within my heart is beating strong

I want to follow it, I've got to walk the spirit trail

(Chorus)

Let every creature I see (whoa) be a brother and a friend to me

Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior

Along the spirit trail...

Heya-heya heya hiyo

They took the land, they took control

They robbed my father of his very soul

To be like one of them, to be like one of them

But I was born a native son

And I will never be another one to give it all away

I've got to walk the spirit trail

(Chorus)

Heya-heya heya hiyo

(Chorus)
